In a country where we do not waste time describing "our politicians" as thieves and speculators, and where we even allow ourselves the luxury of criticizing the presidents of neighboring countries, it is time to speak once more about the embarrassing situation derived from the well-known as "Spanish picaresque." The stock of the Nintendo Classic Mini NES was going to be scarce, we already knew that, so many of us rushed to reserve our edition months ago in the well-known GAME. However, not even the company has been able to fulfill its reservations and Amazon is missing in action. For all this, A 'second hand' market has emerged in which the Nintendo Classic Mini is being resold for almost double their value.
And it is that the photo that crowns this article already says it all. Speculators have not wasted a single second in putting their consoles up for sale, many even boast of the purchase ticket, where GAME can be clearly read, so are users who have taken advantage of their reservations to resell them, while other users who really wanted to play it, video game lovers like me, who see the websites for the sale of the console that they so longed for are populated.
Any terrain is good to do business, but the rumor about the low stock of the Nintendo Classic Mini NES became very strong, which led to speculators taking the reserves with the sole intention of making a little money.
From here, I would like to be able to tip the balance in favor of users, and recommend that you do not go to this type of «characters». If not a single one of them were sold they would think about it for the next time, but I know that many of you are lovers of the saga and you will not be able to avoid it, so, I say #NOTSpeculators
Hi Guille.
Things have the importance that each one gives them. A greeting and thanks for reading.
Who has put a gun to his head to buy it is not a basic necessity where is the speculation? Drama if there is a lot of internet drama lately for a Sicilian grandmother
What will necessities have to do with it? What bullshit. What one complains about here is bullies, who take advantage of any opportunity to profit at the expense of others. Did I want the console? And so much so, but I'm not going to spend more than € 60. More than not having it, I am annoyed by bullies who take advantage of others, whether or not they are essential items.
You seem to be paid to pronounce the word "speculation." Just because Nintendo got it wrong doesn't mean the sellers are to blame. The buyer is the one who chooses whether to buy it or not. By that rule of three, you should talk about the iPhone, Apple Watch, or iMac, abusive prices where one pays the brand, and not really what it is worth, do not be cynical. So buying an Apple Watch 2 for € 469 is normal? LOL. You have no journalistic personality.
One thing is the price set by the manufacturer, whether high or low, and another what is happening. What you comment has nothing to do with the content of the article.
According to the RAE, this is the definition of the word "Specular":
Buy a good whose price is expected to rise in the short term with the sole purpose of selling it in a timely manner and making a profit.
So it is written with full journalistic personality. Speculating is not making a product and selling it at the price you want, that is called market value.
